Great location, property and facilities. Lovely walks in the forest and good local restaurants. Will be visiting again
Our second time at Seabiscuit and already looking forward to our third. Such a special place with so many thoughtful touches. Very well equipped kitchen and fabulous location for shops and marina. Lovely courtyard walled garden with plenty of comfy seating and sun shade. We love this house.
This is a five star property in a fantastic location very close the Beaulieu, down a private wooded lane so well away from any traffic. Fully kitted out with every amenity both inside and out. Beds are super comfortable and every room is finished to a very high standard, plenty of room for everyone inside and out. We were a large group of 6 adults, 2 one year olds, and two other children 5 and 3, plus two dogs! We had wonderful weather all week so made full use of the gardens and the swim pool / jacuzzi which was an ideal size for the children. The gardens are 100% enclosed and very private wh...more
It was ‘Wow’ as soon as we walked through the door. This house has been very professionally designed inside and out. The ‘RalphLauren’ style courtyard was stunning. We almost lived out there in the shaded sun. (And I’m a garden designer!). The Kitchen Diner could host 10 comfortably to impress your friends for lunch. We only used one bedroom but the bed was very comfortable, plenty of storage and a super bathroom. Locally, everything was just a short walk away. Trains are easy to catch for days out, as is the Wightlink ferry service to the Isle of Wight. If we were 30 years younger ...more
We throughly enjoyed our two weeks in Victory Cottage. The location was excellent, we were able to pop out for walks to the harbour and along the seawall without using the car. There were numerous restaurants nearby and we were able to explore the New Forest easily. Coming back each day to the cottage was delightful, it was tastefully decorated and had everything we needed and more.
A little Gem, hidden in a very quiet location. All you need is on your doorstep. Ideal location for all local attractions, the New Forest and its many walks, the fabulous beach and other great places to visit all within 30 mins of Seashells. Having used other cottage providers in the past, New Forest Escapes outshines them all, well done and keep doing what you do. Thanks
Our second visit as before enjoyed our stay everything clean & pleasant . It was nice to meet Herbert & Hayley made us feel welcome.
We were a mixed age family group - 71 down to 10 months - we all had a fabulous time! The weather helped, but the large deck was just perfect for the children to run around on. The decor was very interesting - lots to look at - and the bedrooms were large and comfortable. Lots of cooking resources which was useful - the road is more residential and you are unlikely to be walking to restaurants. Easy access to Moors Valley country park was perfect. Lots of walking opportunities into the countryside - once you found the footpaths! Easy and quick access by car to a range of supermarkets. The host...more
This was my second stay at Avocet, my partner was unwell first time round and couldn’t come and this time we had a lovely stay together. Great location for town, rail, bus and ferry links. Lovely decor, very comfortable, all amenities taken care of and very quiet at night. Good communication and booking experience with New Forest escapes
We had a wonderful time and have booked to return next year. The one problem was the shower head in the second bathroom did not stay on the post.
Lovely home for our New Forest holiday - very quiet location near marina and sea water swimming pool (a holiday highlight for our children!) Good sized / well equipped kitchen for meals in and spacious open plan living area for all the family. Would definitely recommend!
We have stopped in the New Forest multiple times in some lovely houses but Greenwood was far superior. The New Forest holds a special place in our family and this house just made it even more magical. Three generations enjoyed the facilities, a favourite being the pool and all added entertainment extras made this a perfect getaway. The house is stunning and large enough to not feel on top of each other. The location of Greenwood allows easy access to the forest walks but also into the town of Brokenhurst. Waking up to the ponies and cows just outside the gates brought so much joy to the younge...more
We had a lovely break at Whistlestop. The shepherds hut is cute and cosy, the bathroom was spotless, the garden was a lovely space to spend time in and the location is perfect for exploring the New Forest. You can hear the trains go by but it’s a much nicer sound than the police sirens of N London so it didn’t bother us at all. Would definitely stay again.
We feel so lucky to have found this holiday house. It felt spacious, yet homely and the location was perfect for morning and evening swims. We were there in a heatwave and felt it was too hot to make the most of the garden - a shade or umbrella would help with this. Otherwise perfect!
We absolutely loved it at Nutmeg House and already can't wait to stay again! The house is much bigger than we expected. Great space for 6 adults and 2 toddlers to hang out, dine in multiple areas (inside and outside). The location is super convenient to pop into Lymington or drive to lots of nice activities. Comfy big beds, all the amenities we needed plus extra goodies on arrival! Thanks again and we look forward to our next trip.
Rotunda made it an extra special 75th birthday celebration. Location is good to access places to visit.
This was my second visit to this property and we would definitely consider returning again if we can. The location is excellent and the property was well-equipped and very comfortable and suited us extremely well. New Forest Escapes is also a really lovely company to work with.
Really beautiful location with lovely views and close to plenty of things to do (including the Nici Hotel, a pick-your-own farm and mini golf, all within walking distance). Great amenities, including a tennis court, games room, excellent BBQ, multiple fridges and dishwashers, and a good number of bathrooms. On particularly hot summer days, it is worth bringing a few fans, as the house does not have air conditioning.
Lovely spacious house with a very well equipped kitchen. Lots of outside space - we didn’t use the beautiful sitting room as the weather was so good. Would recommend. One note for the owner - we couldn’t turn off the master bedroom towel rail - it was hot all the time.
Very well laid out comfortable and well kept property. The garden is great for a dog a completely enclosed. A great spot to walk into high street, and 25 mins to Avon beach . Would definitely book again.
Very good property. NB Property is next door to pub and gardens adjoin so noisy on warm evenings however there is a World Cup on! No teapot! Second set of keys not available
Great communication with owner. Everything was perfect . For us due to the weather being so hot we spent all our time outside. Breakfast , lunch and bbq dinners. The grounds are perfect for all.
Lovely home, everything you could need would definitely recommend. Only thing that was a negative is the windows in the living room couldn’t open and someone came out but didn’t open it still, so was stuffy with the heat but other than that a lovely place to stay. Thank you will come again I’m sure x
We had an incredible stay at Oak Lodge. A gorgeous property, spotlessly clean, in the most fantastic location on a beautiful, quiet and shady lane. The property was very spacious, beautifully decorated and the garden and hot tub were real hits! An easy walk into Burley with easy access to forest walks, beaches and attractions. We would highly recommend and hope to return.
This was a great base to explore lovely Milford on Sea and all the nearby areas. Some nice treats upon our arrival. Lovely hosts.
We did this as a late booking - our party consisted of 5 adults. The property exceeded expectations. The two lounges with massive sofas had ample seating. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Nice little hamper on arrival. Bedrooms had loads of storage space and nice comfy beds ( a bit soft for me ) We used the hot tub - no instructions but was easy to use. We had out golden retriever with us and found the garden very secure and the house nice and dog friendly. The walk across the field or road was 10 minutes to the delights of Lyndhurst.
We stayed at Furzedown farm house for three nights. Beautiful house and grounds with plenty of space for nine of us. Amazing things were the wildlife particularly all the wild birds not forgetting the peacocks and Guinea Fowl gracing us with their presence and choral displays. Amazing vistas from upstairs. Outside seating area excellent wity plenty of room. Pizza oven and bbq were great. We made full use of the kitchen and outside cooking facilities. Inside, the games room was interesting. We aren't really musicians but it would really appeal to kids who had a flair for music. Easy ...more
Lovely stay in a peaceful yet central location. Ideal for visiting the New Forest and further afield, such as the Isle of Wight.
Comfortable stay in lovely cottage in New Forest. Small thing: no shower gel provided as usual and water in showers much too hot.
We very much enjoyed our stay at No.16. The house is in a great location, less than 10 minutes' walk to the High St in Lymington and a couple of minutes' drive to Waitrose and M&S Food. You are also easy walking distance from the Nature Reserve that runs along the river and down to the Solent, which offers several walks of varying length. The house is compact but very well equipped with a lovely open plan kitchen/dining/living space, a really good sized utility room, and the bathrooms were also of a very good size given the size of the property. All the equipment was in great condition a...more
We had a wonderful stay at Moo Cottage. Very spacious, beautiful design and spotless. It has a real sense of confort. With everything you might need for a relaxing stay.
We booked Little Nye independently from the main house which fortunately was empty during our stay. We very much enjoyed our visit, the location is great with walks on the doorstep and we loved the Gun Inn round the corner. However, although the description makes it clear this is an annexe, I don’t think we would have enjoyed it very much if the house had been occupied. Little Nye was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The decking and garden furniture could benefit from a refresh as could the bathroom cabinets and floor. New Forest Escapes customer service was exceptional.
Such a beautifully designed house with gorgeous furnishings throughout. Perfect for a multi generational stay. Gorgeous garden and an ideal location for walks and access to towns. Strong showers and well equipped kitchen. Beds a little small and creaky, but manageable. No table tennis as listed. Excellent care from property manager who solved an issue quickly. All in all, a fantastic week.
Just back from stay at Mulberry Lodge. Fabulous, quite luxurious holiday home with all you could wish for: huge tv, good appliances including dishwasher and tumble dryer, all bedrooms en suite. The garden is very large and includes a hot tub. A gentle hum of traffic from the road but it didnt bother us at all. Quite a secluded area. Would love to holiday here again.
We had a great week here. Fantastic property in a fantastic location. Very well equipped with everything you need including beach towels, body board, kids beach things etc even loo roll and hand soap!! Decking outside needs updating and the lounger cushions slid down when you sat on them but they were pretty much the only issues everything else was high standard. Note you are next to fields with cattle and water so take insect repellent in the summer!
Whilst a lovely modern property it’s let down by a significant level of discomfort. As mentioned in another recent review all 3 beds are extremely uncomfortable with poor mattresses, this is not good enough when you’re paying a premium price for a property like this. The kitchen space also isn’t comfortable. Cleanliness in places could be improved too. We stay in premium properties for a reason but this one let us down and left us with poor sleep and bad backs. Please sort this for future guests it’s easily remedied.
Fern Villa is exceptionally decorated, comfortably furnished and luxuriously equipped for a brilliant family stay. The fully enclosed rear garden is excellent for dogs and the outside lounging area lovely at night with fire pit under the stars. Amazing to see the local ponies, donkeys and horses wondering on the road out the front. A nice easy driving distance to the best beaches and walking trails right from Brockenhurst to explore.
We love the location, the accomodation and the New Forest and we travel each year from Switzerland to England to enjoy the scenery, view - simply everything. A fantastic and beautiful place to be.
Great house and location, really enjoyed our stay. Did some lovely walks around Keyhaven and across to Milford on Sea with a couple of swims in the sea along the way, perfect.
Conveniently located, an ideal property for our family of 10 get-together. We all enjoyed the comfort and space, one of the best we've come across.
A very convenient and comfortable stay, with lots of thoughtful touches on arrival. The kitchen is particularly well-equipped. It was a great base to explore the New Forest.
Little Exbury was a delightful place to stay - beautiful views, so peaceful and very comfortable. Fantastic art on every wall and light filled rooms and very well equipped with comfortable beds. Walks from the doorsteps or short drives to Exbury Gardens, Lepe beach, Beaulieu, New Forest, Lymington and beyond. Very dog friendly too… Hope to return soon!
A unique property in a beautiful location. Lovely grounds with a grass tennis court and direct access to the Beaulieu river Plenty of room inside with various bedrooms to suit families Highly recommend for an unforgettable stay
I stayed in the upstairs section of Burley mews which is perfect for a couple. The location is tranquil with stunning walks on the doorstep or a short drive away. The cottage is clean with tasteful decor and well equiped. Thought has been given to every need including provision for a dog and a baby/toddler. Nick was very helpful and responsive to my enquiries. I would highly recommend.
A lovely cottage, with a large kitchen and dining area. The house is spacious and comfortable with different sitting rooms where guests can sit together or use for time on their own. Good location. Beautiful views of the garden which is well kept with good outdoor seating areas. Some of the bathrooms have baths with handheld showers.
We've just returned from a fantastic week at forest cottage. This was our third stay, it's the only holiday cottage we've ever returned to. The cottage has bags of character, lovely gardens and you can walk to beaulieu heath without using your car. It's also well set back from the main road, so all you can hear are the birds singing. The village pub is a 10 minute walk, Lymington a 10 minute drive. We love it, will certainly be returning in the future.
We loved the cottage, very comfy beds and amazing use of space with the bathrooms. Perfect location, walking distance to the pretty high street. Parking clocks a god send. Had 2 great meals in the Haven and even had a special meal in the pig whilst my son and his girlfriend dog sat. We were unlucky with the weather truly awful for June but made the best of it great beach walks and saw the ponies in Lyndhurst, typically weather changed on last day. Managed to fit in the market and a warm beach walk.
Lovely, well equipped cottage. Beautiful garden to relax in Really nice walks on your doorstep Would definitely come back
We had a wonderful stay at Number Two with a toddler, two dogs and grandparents in tow! Plenty of room for everyone, two generously sized rooms both with en suites, a third generous room that was arranged as a double to allow us to fit our son’s travel cot plus a family bathroom too! So plenty of amenities. The kitchen was well really well equipped and they’d thought of the extras like toddler cutlery, some picnic gear and even milk and a lemon drizzle cake in the fridge, so thoughtful! Beautiful courtyard garden that we enjoyed every evening and a 2 min walk from a large recreational fie...more
We were a group of 6 staying at the cottage for a few days to attend a family wedding at nearby Pylewell House. The location was perfect, the rustic property well presented with all the usual/necessary comforts. The garden was pretty. Our two significant gripes were: (1) the lack of hot water and (2) lack of ability to put the heating on. With 6 adults needing a shower ahead of an afternoon wedding only the first person had any hot water, the rest of us shivered. We called for assistance and a lady appeared quickly and said she put the water heating on 'constant' (alas too lat...more
Had 2 nights, and it was ideal Very quiet location, walks all around you, and local villages a short journey away. Was just perfect. The cottage is quaint, but has everything you could need for both a short and longer stay Would recommend highly
The house is a bit tired and needs redecorating particularly in the sitting room. The pool needs a new rail as it's very loose which is dangerous. I think the wasp situation should have been dealt with before as 4 of my family got stung - the wasps had been there for sometime. The shower was fixed quickly when we reported a faulty shower but you need to improve the shower on the top floor. We did have a very pleasant stay in the house and the kitchen was well equipped.
Property is nice and spacious. Condition is ok. Balcony is a good feature but is a bit run down and not kept clean. There are a couple of things that could cause a problem. Glass counter in the kitchen has sharp corners and is a bit of a hazard. The step between the dining area and the lounge is difficult to see and my husband fell down it. Hot tub was very good and well maintained. Beds were comfortable. TV a bit difficult to operate. Road is busy and quite noisy.
My wife and I feel that there was a few things not included which at this price point we would have expected. Overall the property is in good condition but the extra touches just weren't there. For example it was not a warm week and gas in the outdoor heater would have been appreciated. The downstairs bathroom had one toilet roll in it for the week, there was no complimentary soap/shampoo in the shower, the sink looked lovely in the downstairs bathroom but there was no way to have a wet shave (form over function). The overhead extractor in the kitchen made a racket when you used it. The f...more
Faultless stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Boat Shed, this being the second time we've stayed here and would definitely stay again.
